- Phosphates
- Cleaners
- Plastics
- Toilet Paper
- Paint
- Medicine
- Human waste
- Poison
Potential impacts/dangers of the pollutants (list)
Diseases it can cause:
- carries pathogen that can cause disease in humans
Ecoli
Gastroenteritis
- Used for irrigation in agriculture
- Turns water green like on the Simpsons
- (Green Water) - One example is the "bloom" or great increase of phytoplankton in a water body as a response to increased levels of nutrients. Negative environmental effects include hypoxia, the depletion of oxygen in the water, which induces reductions in specific fish and other animal populations. Other species (such as Nomura's jellyfish in Japanese waters) may experience an increase in population that negatively affects other species. - Wikipedia
